  1. Note Average marginal effects and confidence intervals are reported for fractional logistic models. For continuous variables, semi-elasticity estimates indicate the unit change in the predicted outcome given a 1% change in X. For categorical X variables, the marginal effects are shown in level-level form indicating the unit change in the predicted outcome given a one-unit change in X. Odds ratios are reported for binary logistic models. Statistical significance is denoted by * and ** for significance at the 5% and 1% levels, respectively
